Chapter 845
Actually, the squad led by Nelson is close to the edge of the battlefield where the Queen of Ant-Man and the Pale Lord are fighting each other. If you go further, you can enter the central area of the battlefield and have a chance to find Victor.
The Queen Ant-Man and Victor agreed that before finding Bertina, the ant colony will not actively attack Victor and his men. The Queen of Ant-Man was also worried that Her Royal Highness Randal of the Demi-God rank ran to hunt down the low-level guard ants and seized the soul fire unit of the Queen Alchemy Tower. This agreement restrained both parties. And his promise directly acts on Ant-Man’s Soul Willpower side. Ant-Man does not have any hostility to Nelson and the others, and naturally does not trigger the dangerous instinct of the violent warrior.
As for the slender monsters split by the Pale Lord, they are undying creatures, without self-will, and their mental activities are as quiet as dead ashes, and they could have concealed the intuition of violent creatures.
Foreseeing danger is the biggest hole card of the ferocious warrior. Now this hole card suddenly fails. Nelson without the slightest hesitation chooses to make a big circle to the north of the rainforest, first to get out of the range of the ant colony. Make plans.
Eight people evacuated in panic, leaving the rainforest at full speed, but without the danger foresight, no one knew whether it was correct to go north. It would be bad if one head hit the ant colony.
Klaus thought of a way. He let Rogers and the red wolf simultaneously perceive the dangerous area. Rogers can perceive the danger above the bronze rank, and the red wolf is responsible for eliminating the dangerous area of the silver rank. Go in the direction indicated by the individual. There is a high probability that there will be no ant-man activities in the place where there are bronze-level monsters or beasts, and the bronze-level beasts are almost no threat to them, and the eight-person squad can pass through.
Nelson praised Klaus fiercely, leading the team to run for three days and nights without danger, moving more than 1,000 kilometers to the north of the rainforest. This level of rapid marching has reached the limit of the team. The red wolf with the worst physical fitness has begun to gasping for breath. His spirit is tense, and his speed inevitably slows down.
"We must rest, to maintain the physical fitness for fighting and fleeing." Klaus couldn't help but said.
purple sword light draws a perfect semi-circular arc, cutting off a dense rainforest plant, Nelson stopped and turned around, put away the fine gold beheading sword, and nodded to his adjutant: "You rest on the spot, I'll go to see nearby, if there is nothing wrong, we will camp here and rest." After finishing speaking, he held the decapitation sword into the wormwood next to the bushes, and saw only the grass blades. Shaking, he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Nelson has the strongest strength. He does not need the assistance of alchemy militia David when he goes out to investigate. David can't keep up with his speed and will only become a burden.
The three alchemy militiamen in the team cut off a few brown vines that were as thick as their arms, and light azure water flowed out immediately. The rain forest is rich in water resources, but the water here cannot be drunk indiscriminately. Most of the water sources are polluted by parasitic seeds. Drinking into the stomach is always a hassle. The purification crystals collected from the Lizard Swamp of the Randal Family can purify the water source. The eight-person squad carries two purification crystals, but the purification crystals only play the role of adsorbing impurities in the water at night, and the purified drinking water is relatively limited. Fortunately, the alchemy militia also recognizes several kinds of water-absorbing vines. Their juice tastes a bit bitter, but you can drink them with confidence.
Several people each drank a water-absorbing vine to quench their thirst, and then took turns sitting on the ground, running the family secret method, mixing evenly breathing and internal diving, allowing the heartbeat and body temperature to drop, and quickly regain physical strength and energy.
The light in the rain forest gradually dimmed, and Nelson went out to investigate before he came back, and everyone began to feel a little uneasy. Originally, with Nelson's strength, everyone did not need to worry about his safety. Just the description of the rainforest by the Spirit General Army, coupled with the dangerous intuition of the fierce warrior, is invalid for Ant-Man, it will inevitably make people suspicious and feel an invisible pressure.
As the atmosphere became heavier and heavier, Nelson carried a prey from the depths of the rainforest to his footing. He threw the prey on the ground and said: "I didn't find any traces of ant-man activity nearby, but there was a ferocious green tiger. It wanted to keep this prey against me, but I was scared away... David , Can you see if this long-nosed wild boar can be our dinner?"
"It can be eaten."
The alchemy militia checked the prey brought back by the commander and gave it affirmation reply.
Nelson took care of the prey by himself. Under his sword edge, the "long-nosed boar" weighing more than 400 pounds was instantly broken down into easy-to-cook meat pieces. Others collect firewood and water, collect edible mushrooms, wild vegetables and plant roots as spice garnishes, evenly sandwich them between the meat pieces, then raise a pile of bonfires, and put the skewered pork on the fire to roast slowly , Until the meat becomes golden, the fat rolls down on the orange flame, exuding a strong and alluring fragrance.
Several people sat around the bonfire and had a full meal. They all ate with greasy mouths and full of praise. In fact, the taste of barbecue is a bit weak, after all, it lacks salt for seasoning. But the important thing is not the taste. Nelson's ability to seizing food from the tiger's mouth shows that this rainforest is relatively safe. The eight-man squad has been out of the scope of Ant-Man's activities, and the sense of urgency has naturally disappeared. Simple wild vegetable barbecue They all look very delicious.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to rest in this rainforest for two days, supplement some resources by the way, reapply the herbal mud, and wait the next morning before finding a way to join His Royal Highness Randal.
Second day, other people went out to gather and hunt. The one-armed Rogers and alchemy militiaman Matthew stayed in the camp and were responsible for baking dry food. They dug more than a dozen fire ponds, wrapped fresh meat and mushrooms with big round leaves, put them under the fire pond to heat and dry them, and then grilled them out and hung on the racks and grilled them with thick smoke. The food could be preserved by adsorbing a layer of black charcoal on the surface of the food. time.
This is a tedious job. Rogers has the tenacious and patience of a mountain hunter, and understands the preciousness of food. He has been busy from morning to afternoon, and the prepared dry food can fill most of the rattan basket, and the prey, rhizomes, and mushrooms that the gathering team retrieved in the middle have all been processed. He sat on the stake, drinking water to rest, and from the corner of his eye suddenly saw a yellow shadow flashing through the jungle on the left.
The Spirit General Army once mentioned the mysterious water goblin. Nelson also believed that the Spirit General Army’s statement was true. Adjutant Klaus asked everyone to pay attention to the abnormal conditions in the rainforest. Rogers was always thinking about this, but the yellow shadow was fleeting. He didn't see what it was, but he immediately jumped up and asked his companion: "Matthew, there is movement in the rain forest on the left, you see What's that?"
Matthew put down his work, turned his head and said, "It looks like a stingray."
"Stingray?" Rogers thought for a while, but he didn't feel relieved. , He picked up the dwarf’s bone crusher and said: "I’ll go and see."
Don’t even think of finding a stingray in the jungle. Rogers, a mountain hunter, not only has five senses, but also Knowing the habits of minks, he relied on his own experience to stride through the wormwood, with heavy gasps in his throat, and finally caught the stingray hiding in the tree hole.
The stingray with bright red eyes screamed zhi zhi in the hands of the hunter. Its fur is very beautiful. It can sell at least one Silver Coin at the market, but it has no meat on it. Rogers teased for a while and released the stingray. When he returned the same way, he suddenly found that Matthew had disappeared. It should be said that the entire camp was gone.
Rogers circulated cautiously a few times in the jungle, and finally determined that he was lost. This is almost impossible, but it does happen. Rogerske suppressed the panic in his heart and did not make a cry for help. He returned to the place where the stingray was found, jumped onto a large banyan tree with lush foliage, leaned against the trunk, and waited patiently for the rescue of his companions.
Rogers became the first mysterious missing person in the team. The cause was the "Water Fairy" seen and spoken by Luth Song, not the ordinary stingray.
If there is the first, there will be the second.
The next morning, the sun hit Rogers’s face through the gaps in the leaves, and the familiar voice awakened him from his shallow sleep, "Hey, man, I’m a red wolf, did you see me? "
The red wolf with his eyes covered with animal skins is standing not far away, holding a wooden lance in his hand.
Rogers was overjoyed, grabbed the iron rod and jumped off the banyan tree, walked to his companion, and said happily: "I know blind not simple."
"You guy, Can someone get lost?" The red wolf was also very happy, first complained, and continued: "I found you, that's my good luck, and is responsible for searching this direction. I said, buddy, you won't call for help if you are lost. Is it?"
Rogers shook the head and said seriously: "Yelling in the wild is the most terrible." He paused and asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, you can't see it. , How did you find me?"
"Who said I can’t see with my eyes?" The red wolf pointed to his eyes, and said triumphantly: "My eyes are blind, but I am now passing Vibration, you can'see' the surrounding image. Although the image has no color and is flashing, there is no blind spot in the line of sight... I think I learned the blindness that Master Randal said, and I detected what you left. Follow the traces of your footprints, hear your heartbeat, and then shout at you, and I will'see' you."
Rogers widened his eyes and said: "You still have this ability! Those The newly grown weeds and vines did not cover my footprints?"
Red wolf said with a smile: "Didn’t your highness say that you must know how to ignore some unimportant information. I ignore the weeds and vines. You can determine your footprints... This is a meticulous job. I found it very slowly, but I finally found you." He patted Rogers's shoulder and said, "Man, why don't you use your mind? You dare not be there. The wild cried out for help. Don’t you dare to climb to the tree to see where the smoke is? You lost yourself, causing everyone to find you separately. When you see Lord Nelson, he will definitely scold you."
Rogers lowered his head in shame, and muttered: "I saw it, but I didn't see the smoke from the camp..."
"en?"
Red Wolf and Rogers worked together for several years, received rigorous training at Mercury Manor, and also learned tracking skills. Logically speaking, Rogers would not even lose sight of the smoke. The Red Wolf suddenly became suspicious, and said in a deep thought: "When I came, I used a stick to drag traces on the road...Go, I will take you back to the camp."
Rogers didn't think so much, but followed every step. By the red wolf's side. They walked some distance, the Red Wolf stopped suddenly, and said, "Rogers, can you see if there are any traces I made on the ground?" Stick marks, but he did not find the marks the Red Wolf said.
No matter how slow, people will know that this situation is very abnormal. Rogers is not a fool. He thinks that he caused his companion to get lost in the mysterious rainforest. Then he said: "The trace is broken here. It's...Red Wolf, what shall we do now?"
"...There is only one way." The red wolf was silent for a moment, and opened his throat and shouted:
"Nal Lord Mori! Brandon! Klaus! Cliff! David! Matthew! We are lost, help!" It might be useful to call for help. Red Wolf and Rogers went around in the rain forest three times On three nights, they cut down trees and made fires, digging holes to mark them. Various methods were used, including everyday all calling for help. Until the morning of the fourth day, Klaus found them. In the afternoon, Brandon appeared. On the sixth day, the four men joined Nelson again, but the three alchemy militiamen remained silent.
They gathered together to think carefully, discussed with each other, and finally agreed that they had encountered a mysterious event in the rain forest. Brandon shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the three of David and the others are lost because they are the weakest?" Nelson said solemnly, "No, maybe we are lost."
Now... I can't feel the position of Lord Victor. Lord Victor is always impossible, right?"
"Lord, what shall we do now?" Klaus asked softly.
Several subordinates looked at themselves with expectant eyes. Nelson pretended to lightly say: "It's okay, we can look at the sun to determine the direction, and we will definitely find the Azores mountain range to the east. , As long as we find the mountain range, we can go home. But we can’t just leave David and the others like this...Look for them first, if we can’t find them for ten days, we will go over the Azores mountain range first. To the east, cross the oak grassland and go to the Grey Rabbit mountain range...I guess Mrs. Sylvia has dispatched Legion to the Grey Rabbit Watch. We have to tell Mrs. Victor’s news."
Victor is in the oak grassland and The gray rabbit mountain range all left behind and established outposts. This is the support of the expeditionary army. Although it is far away, it is not a big problem for Nelson and the others.
Of course, the three lost alchemy militiamen are looking for them. After all, they are part of the family. Nelson is actually unwilling to go back like this. He wants to try again if he can find Victor. It's just that the five of them are now in a loss, and even the issue of self-protection is difficult to determine. As a commander, he must first reassure others.
In the next exploration, the five people did not dare to separate easily. They stared at each other and tried to move together as much as possible even to relieve their hands. They walked around in the mysterious rain forest for four days. When they were approaching a river, the red wolf with a sharp hearing suddenly whispered: "Master Nelson, there seems to be someone in the forest on the right..."
Nelson immediately waved his hand to signal that the team was lurking in place. He pressed his voice and asked: "Human? Red Wolf, are you sure it's a human, not a monster?"
The Red Wolf took a long time. Deep breath, concentrated one's mind listened attentively. After a while, he nodded and confirmed: "Most likely are humans... at least humanoids. There are thirty-two in total, but they are not David."
Nelson lowered his eyelids to cover the light in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Maybe it is from Azores, let's touch it over and take a look."
